Hemodynamic evaluation of elderly patients during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

OBJECTIVE: to demonstrate hemodynamic changes during laparoscopic cholecystectomy in elderly patients with trans-esophageal echocardiography. METHODS: we studied 31 elderly patients (aged 60 years or older), ASA I or II, who underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general, standardized anesthesia, with cardiovascular parameters measured using transesophageal echocardiography at three different times: before the pneumoperitoneum (T1), after CO2 insufflation (T2) and at deflation (T3). We statistically evaluated changes in systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure, heart rate, cardiac output and index, and ejection fraction. RESULTS: although small, only the diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and ejection fraction (EF) variations were statistically significant. The mean ± standard deviation of DBP in mmHg at the different times were: T1=67.5±10.3; T2=73.6±12.4; and T3=66.7±9.8. And for EF, in percentage (%) they were: T1=66.7±10.4; T2=63.2±9.9; and T3=68.1±8.4. There was no statistical correlation between hemodynamic variations, age and number of patients' comorbidities. CONCLUSION: laparoscopic cholecystectomy causes few hemodynamic changes that are well tolerated by the majority of the elderly patients; prior impairment of ventricular function represents a threat in elderly patients during surgery; there appears to be a lower hemodynamic effect caused by the pneumoperitoneum than by the patient's positioning in a reverse Trendelemburg during surgery.

Comparative study of systemic early postoperative inflammatory response among elderly and non-elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

OBJECTIVE: to evaluate and compare the early postoperative period systemic inflammatory response between elderly and non-elderly patients submitted to laparoscopic cholecystectomy, mainly performing a quantitative analysis of interleukin-6 (IL-6), a marker of inflammatory activity systemic. METHODS: we compared a series of cases over a period of six months at the Gaffrée and Guinle University Hospital of the Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro, involving 60 patients submitted to elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We used non-probabilistic sampling for convenience, selecting, from the inclusion criteria, the first 30 patients aged 18-60 years, who comprised group I, and 30 patients with age equal to or greater than 60 years, who formed group II. RESULTS: the 60 patients involved were followed for at least 30 days after surgery and there were no complications. There was no conversion to open surgery. The values ​​of the medians found in the IL-6 dosages for the preoperative period, three hours after the procedure and 24 hours after surgery were, respectively, 3.1 vs. 4.7 pg/ml, 7.3 vs. 14.1 pg/ml and 4.4 vs 13.3 pg/ml. CONCLUSION: Elderly patients were more responsive to surgical trauma and had elevated IL-6 levels for a longer period than the non-elderly group.

RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar e comparar a resposta inflamatória sistêmica no pós-operatório precoce de pacientes idosos e não idosos submetidos à colecistectomia vídeo-laparoscópica, realizando, sobretudo, análise quantitativa de interleucina-6 (IL-6), que representa um marcador de atividade inflamatória sistêmica. Métodos: estudo de série de casos, comparativo, realizado num período de seis meses, no Hospital Universitário Gaffrée e Guinle da Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, envolvendo 60 pacientes com indicação de colecistectomia laparoscópica eletiva. Amostragem não probabilística por conveniência foi utilizada, selecionando, a partir dos critérios de inclusão, os primeiros 30 pacientes com idades entre 18 e 60 anos, que compuseram o grupo I e os 30 pacientes com idade igual ou maior que 60 anos, que formaram o grupo II. Resultados: os 60 pacientes envolvidos foram acompanhados por no mínimo 30 dias após o término da cirurgia e não houve complicações. Não houve conversão para cirurgia aberta. Os valores das medianas encontrados nas dosagens da IL-6, nos grupos I e II, para cada momento analisado (pré-operatório, três horas após e 24 horas após) foram, respectivamente: 3,1 x 4,7 pg/ml no pré-operatório, 7,3 x 14,1 pg/ml após três horas do procedimento e 4,4 x 13,3 pg/ml na 24a hora do pós-operatório. Conclusão: pacientes idosos responderam de forma mais exacerbada ao trauma cirúrgico e apresentaram elevação dos níveis de IL-6 por um período maior do que o grupo de não idosos.

RESUMO Objetivo: demonstrar as alterações hemodinâmicas durante a colecistectomia laparoscópica em pacientes idosos com auxílio da ecocardiografia trans-esofágica Métodos: foram estudados trinta e um pacientes idosos (com 60 anos de idade ou mais), ASA I ou II, submetidos à colecistectomia laparoscópica eletiva, sob anestesia geral padronizada, com aferição de parâmetros cardiovasculares através de ecocardiograma trans-esofágico em três momentos diferentes: antes do pneumoperitônio (T1), após a insuflação do CO2 (T2) e na desinsuflação (T3). As variações da pressão arterial sistólica, diastólica e média, da frequência cardíaca, do débito e do índice cardíaco, e da fração de ejeção foram avaliadas estatisticamente. Resultados: apesar de pequenas, somente as variações da pressão arterial diastólica (PAD) e da fração de ejeção (FE) foram estatisticamente significativas. A PAD, em mmHg, nos diferentes momentos, de acordo com a média e desvio padrão, foram: T1=67,5±10,3; T2=73,6±12,4; T3=66,7±9,8. E para a FE, em porcentagem (%), nos diferentes momentos, de acordo com média e desvio padrão, foram: T1=66,7±10,4; T2=63,2±9,9; T3=68,1±8,4. Não houve correlação estatística entre as variações hemodinâmicas, a idade e número de comorbidades dos pacientes. Conclusão: a colecistectomia laparoscópica causa poucas alterações hemodinâmicas que são bem toleradas pela maioria dos pacientes idosos; o comprometimento prévio da função ventricular representa ameaça em pacientes idosos durante a cirurgia; parece haver menor efeito hemodinâmico causado pelo pneumoperitônio do que pelo posicionamento do paciente em Trendelemburg reverso durante a cirurgia.

Conventional inguinal hernia repair with self-fixating mesh versus totally extraperitoneal laparoscopic repair with polypropylene mesh: early postoperative results. / Herniorrafia inguinal convencional com tela autofixante versus videolaparoscópica totalmente extraperitoneal com tela de polipropileno: resultados no pós-operatório precoce.

OBJECTIVE:: to evaluate the early postoperative results of inguinal hernia repair by the conventional technique with self-fixating mesh versus laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal repair with polypropylene mesh. We compared pain, surgical time and early complications. METHODS:: this is a prospective, case-series study of 80 consecutive patients treated in the surgical clinic of the Gaffrée e Guinle University Hospital (HUGG). We included patients with unilateral inguinal hernia, not relapsed and operated only on an elective basis. We divided patients into two groups of 40 patients each, SF group (conventional technique using self-fixating mesh) and LP group (laparoscopic technique with polypropylene mesh). We followed patients up until the 45th postoperative day. RESULTS:: of the 80 patients, 98.7% were male and the majority had indirect right inguinal hernias (Nyhus II). There was no difference between the groups studied in respect to pain and operative time. However, more complications occurred (seroma and hematoma) in the open surgery group. CONCLUSION:: both operations have proved feasible, safe and with minimal postoperative pain and a low operating time.

RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar o resultado no pós-operatório precoce do tratamento da hérnia inguinal pela técnica convencional com tela autofixante versus videolaparoscópica totalmente extraperitoneal com uso da tela de polipropileno. Foram comparados, sobretudo, dor, tempo cirúrgico e complicações precoces. Métodos: estudo prospectivo, de série de casos, realizado na Clínica Cirúrgica A, do Hospital Universitário Gaffrée e Guinle (HUGG), no qual 80 casos consecutivos foram estudados. Apenas pacientes com hérnia inguinal unilateral, não recidivada e operadas em caráter eletivo foram incluídas no estudo. Os pacientes foram divididos em dois grupos, de 40 pacientes cada; grupo AF (técnica convencional com uso de tela autofixante) e grupo VL (técnica videolaparoscópica com uso de tela de polipropileno). Os pacientes foram acompanhados até o 45º dia de pós-operatório. Resultados: dos 80 pacientes operados no estudo, 98,7% pertenciam ao sexo masculino e a maioria era portadora de hérnia inguinal direita indireta (Nyhus II). Não houve diferença entre os grupos estudados no que diz respeito à dor e tempo operatório. No entanto, ocorreram mais complicações (seroma e hematoma) no grupo da cirurgia aberta. Conclusão: as duas operações realizadas se mostraram factíveis, seguras e estão relacionadas à mínima dor pós operatório e a um baixo tempo cirúrgico.
